Well the Pirates are taken over!!! We entered the Helldorado Parade. It is one of Las Vegas' biggest and best parades! The only issue for us is that it is a Cowboy themed event...(they have a rodeo!!!) . So we really didn't know how well we would do. Results of the parade are in and we won BEST IN FLOAT!!!!

The Pirates were a big hit!! All we were handing out was info slips about thefestival, which doesn't even debut until NEXT April. People were lining up to get the info!! Comments ranged from "Pirates! I can't wait!" to "Pirate Festival? It's about time!!"

We have to attend a City Council meeting where each of the winners will be called up and acknowledged!! Since we entered for the publicity, I think it's working!!! The bad part is, now we'll have to build something new for next year's parade so we can defend our title!!!

A big ARRRR to Captain Lyle Shenanigan and the crew from Battlewolf and Captain Chriss Crossbones for participating!!Check out our facebook page for pictures from Heldorado and also from the Boulder City Ren Faire!! http://www.facebook.com/pages/Pirate-Fest-Las-Vegas/152030244907865
